Text

For some in the House, including Mr Carroll, it seems to me that their issue is with what the officers were doing rather than with the fact that they were in London. Does the Minister agree that the purpose of a call for mutual aid is not a matter of consideration for the Chief Constable on whether to meet that call but, rather, is a matter of operational capacity at a particular time and that the Chief Constable is best placed to make that call?
